Silver, or 'blanco' tequila is more or less fresh from the vat, unaged. Anejo is golden, aged tequila, sometimes aged for long periods, sometimes acquiring enough flavor from the aging/barrel that it can -almost- taste like a bourbon with a more mellow finish (I dislike bourbon), often golden in color from the barrel, as I understand it. Reposado is a more briefly aged tequila, lighter in color than an anejo, but more character than a silver or 'blanco'..
What I like about bourbon is that they don't use any artificial caramel coloring like most whiskeys do.
